The ending of The Last of Us Part II is intense and emotionally charged. Ellie tracks down Abby to Santa Barbara, California, where Abby and Lev have been caught by a group called the Rattlers. Ellie saves them, leading to a final clash between Ellie and Abby on the beach in California. Both characters are physically and emotionally exhausted from their difficulties. During this fight, Ellie has the upper hand but experiences a flashback of Joel. She decides to let go of Abby, breaking the cycle of violence that has consumed her.

Abby and Lev then leave on a boat, heading towards the Fireflies, a group working to restore society. Ellie returns to the farmhouse she once shared with her partner Dina and their adopted son, only to find it abandoned. Dina has left, taking the child with her, leaving behind remains of their life together. She attempts to play the guitar Joel gifted her but struggles due to losing 2 fingers in her fight with Abby. The game ends with Ellie leaving the farmhouse. Her future is unclear but suggests a possibility for healing and moving forward.
